Welcome! This site contains information about my scholarship: books, essays, and co-edited collections.
There's also a section that features considerations of my research in various media: interviews that I've given, podcasts on which I've been a guest, and keynote talks that I've delivered.
One of the best parts about reading books is discussing them with other people. So, there's a few pages dedicated to my teaching and work with students.
Finally, you can learn about my nerdy interests outside of reading and writing. (Spoiler alert: cat photos are involved. Please act surprised.)
Of course, there's also a link to my CV and a way to contact me.
Thanks for visiting--and have fun exploring.
